Press of the tiorips and' tie 11cNT!,—and more than insinuated by the Speeches and Scribes of Opposition. It matters not whether the case of England run parallel with that of France—make the People beliere it, and the come ,iquences cannot be doubted. To make the People belie.re it is the foundation stone of the policy of .. raction . in the present day. No opportunity i. : Coffered to pass by which invites the display of popular declamation against the Members of the Royal Family,-rind against the ).linisters of the ,Croan. Every feature that can give poignancy and effect to the portrait of corruption is added fr ,, in the incidents of the d,y, and the ingenuity of hireling artists. The coarse daubings of the tinder craft are held up to admiration by the con noisseurs and dilletanti of Opposition, and The Edinburgh Review becotnes the point of contact between the Partisans of Aristricratic Whiggism and the dregs of the minor Sabbath-breakers and Writers. The Editor of The Review has identified himself with the 'Editor of The Examiner ! If the folly of the Party were not likely to he m'schievous, it need nor excite a,stronger senti ment than contempt ; but folly, active without principle, and urged on by desperation, forms a fearful odds in a question to be d:cidecl by num bers! The stand tnnst he made somewhere. The Courts of Law are hermetically sealed against a remedy for Libel, by the intimidation successfully practised upon Juries ; ground after gro,und has slipped from under us, and whilst Ministers, whom I conscientiously believe to be the most rigidly etinstitutional . body of men who ever tgok the lead in our public councils, are acting on the de.; fensive, the enemy is undermining the bulwarkti of the Constitution, and already contemplates a division of the spoils—" Undique circumventi swims ; Catalina rum exercitu, faucibus urget, alii -,isqra Mania, atque in sinu urbis sunt hostes." We have seen one Minister butchered under our eyelt, and even within these few days a Nobleman at the head of a public department nearly sub jected to a similar fate. Do not Engliihmen tremble for the character bequeathed to them by their brave and noble ancestors ? will they not be *wakened though they stand upon the embers of a fire; which has nearly destroyed every vestige of honourable feeling throughout the Continent of Europe, and from whose devouring rage we slime have been hitherto excepted, under Divine Providence, by the foresight and vigour of our Governors ! Shall we attribute the murder of a Pk:twovar., or the assassination of Lord PALMER STON, to the mere workings of private feeling ? ~ No, Sir ; these degrading facts ►vould not have stained any period of our history previous to 1789 ; they are the product of French principles,, im ported by degenerate and denaturalized English men ! Read the abominable incentives to assassi . ration openly pobli•lred through the weekly press.; read the libel sent forth, by the . anonymous assas sin addressed to Mr. CANNING ! The system in progress, and every disappointed man is taught to look to the Public Functionaries as the origin and cause of his individual privatio►►s. The worst pas sions of our nature are encouraged by palliatives (drawn froM the perverted authority of history,) to their free exercise. The prodigal, the adven turer, the speculator, the dcbanchee, - the out cast, whose resources are exhausted, or whose wants exceed their ordinary supply, are referred to the superfluous possessions of the rich and noble as usurpations of what belongs to.the com munity, and as the cause of their immediate wants or reverses. Their passions are first heat ed, and then impelled in the direction where they may be satiated. In citing the popular Creed of the Whigs, it is not my intention to animadvert upon it. Usurpation is subversive of the rights of the community ; oppression is the legitimate signal for revolt, and. tyrannicide may be a virtue among a free people, but I cannot suffer the shameless application of the doctrines now set forth or insinuated by the Whig teachers to pass unnoticed and unreprobated, namely, that all authority is usurpation, ail law oppression, and all Its administrators tyrants, It is obvious where this cou►tnentary is intended to lead, and that it is current, may be proved by reference to any of the itinerary publications of the Sunday Press.— The example of Batrrus,sin particular, is selected, and is upheld to popular admiration and imita- : tion. With the moral feelings of the man who stabbed his benefactor in the Capitol I meddle: mot ; though it should be remembered, that his viet►m was not a King, but an aspiring and success.' tut Demagogue: but I would raise the - voice of my yet uncorrupted countrymen against the in fluence of such an example, subtracting nothing from the factitioui blaze with which republican . idolatry has illustrated it, because in this country a fixed Constitution, and the purest System o Laws ever granted to the wants or wishes of man, !save neither room nor necessity for encircling with'. nirlie the dagger If the-patriaL.mucb less for en, rering the stiletto the assassin with the mantle of pfitriolisinT rime 'w 49, when the soundest . po litician was prowl-to' inter, that (tee discussion relieved the body politic: from percant humourst, by giving them' free vent. 'rite time, alas, is now ution us, when the British Press, vi.iated and. cankered- by French principles, bids fair eo poison and.comipt-the body altogether. The justificaiiuu of bad actions is a-standing persuasive to' all- who are- prone to commit them.. We are- told-by that, RAVAILLAC was iuc - rted• to murder ilkNav IV. by the praises and encomitims• passed upon the murderer of his Pre der essors ! But What, say the really liberal opponents of Mr CANNING, has the present- Conduct of that Gentleman effected? He 11'as exposed himself . -to obits - guy, by noticing the contemptible threats of a eloaked and obscure assassin ; and the assassin is still ondisccive'red. IVe a re mo- apt, in this age of calcuistiim, to weigh every thing in the scale of expediency. We will, for a moment, suppose ttrat no good hat been obtained ; but is there no thing d,ur to die feelings of a Man of honour ? is Ore mere orcupancy of a pubic station to benumb ur aLogether suppress the just resentment which a Gentleman feels upon being charged with prin ciples of action which are abhorrent from his na tnre ? is he tacitly to acknowledge the justice of the imputatiim, or, though he despise the libel, is he to suffer the libeller to escape in triumph? Be cause he is stabbed in the dark, is he to surrender himself an unresisting victim ! But, Sir,-I deny that Mr. CAN tILNG'S conduct upon the occasion has been unproductive of good. He has tailed to drag forth the assassin, but has lie failed in stamp ing him, in fixing upon him indelibly, the foulest . stain which can - stigmatize a man in society ? The libeller labours through a work of studied false hood and inventive malice to asperse Mr. CAN NING'S character. Nothing could give effect to such an attempt but the conviction upon the pub lic mind, that the writer, though anonymous, was a Gentleman. It Mr. CANNING has not thought it necessary to disprove his statements in detail, lie has stripped them at least of all that adventitious authority whieb such an inference might possibly bring to their support. He has marked his opi- Rion of the Author, which the Author has taken the pains to confirm in its strictest sense by his sub sequent conduct. It will be vain to urge that he wrote anonymously in order to conceal his name from motives of modesty, or from the apprehen sion of prosecution ; it is evident he conceals his name from the personal fear of meeting the man whom he has injured! He might have pocketed the affront, most assuredly, and have blushed, if blush he could, under a mask, at his own degradation. But no ! he publishes •liis shame to the world, and betrays s feature which no mask can hide, no future shift can justify. He has not only outraged the eimimon rules of civilized life, but has exhi bited his practical ignorance of the feelings which mark the character of a Gentleman. lie has shewn that he can tamely acquiesce in a chastise ment which excludes man from his station, what- ever it May be, in society, and that he is callous to the sensibility of a Gentleman, because he is screened for a time from detection ! Is it no thing, Sir, to prove to a British Public that the character of an assassin is unaccompinied by any of the great leading features which distinguish Britons from the nations of the South! If Mr. CANNING has erred, it is the error‘ot a high mind transgressing on the side of honour ; it his con cealed Calumniator has erred, in making a false estimate Of his own courage, because he encoun tered his intended victim in the dark, his error hums incurred the contempt of all honourable minds, by proving that he can descend to the drpt ha of infamy without a feeling of remorse, and publish his disgrace without a sense of shame. Let hint console himself with the - single gratifying tetlec lino th a t hi s person is secure, and balance this security with the further reflection, not quite so consolatory, that if, like the libeller whom he has in %sin laboured to imitate, except in the basest and lowest parts of his scheme, lie is the sole de pository of his own secret—lie can never make himself known to his most cinifidential himd without an acknowledgment of infamy. Let him consider too, that the condemnation passed upon the object of his calunmies by the bitterest Of his opponents extends not beyond the transgteision of having treated the threats' contained i n hi s anonymous libel with snit thing but Cotrrtirr ; and if his pillow be not a pillow of thorns, his heak must be hauler than adamant, I am, Sir, .yours, FALKLANFL Saturday . the ItEcoanva Of LONDON made his deport to the PRINCE REGENT in (:01111C11, at Carlton House, of the convicts capitally convict ed at the SOsions bef(ife list, when John Ward and llariet -Skelton, convicted of uttering forged Batik of 'England notes, were ordered for execu •tion.

INDIA BOARD, APRIL 18.--Dispatches have been received at the East India House, addressed to the Secret Committee by. the Governor in Coutibil at Bombay, inelosing reports of the com men-cement an•l progress of hostilities between the British Government and the Peishwa. The first is an extract of a dispatch from Mr. Elphinstone, the British Resident at Nona, dated November 6. It briefly recapitulates the causes which led to the rupture with the Peishwa. It appears that his Highness had not only made great preparations, and occupied a threatening position in the neighbourhood, of the British camp, but that lie had used the most unremitting endeavours to corrupt-the fiiielity of our native troops. The second dispatch is from Lieut.-Colonel Burr, of the Bombay Establishment, dated Camp at Kirky, November 6. It contains the account of an engagement with the Peishwa's- forces on the sth Nov. Colonel Burr took up a position, where be was joined by Mr. Elphinstone, who, he observes, " most gallantly exerted himself throughout the day, in setting a distinguished ex ample of zeal and animation to the troops." The enemy's cavalry was computed at 15,000 ; his in fantry at eight. At the very moment when we were preparing for action, they commenced a brisk cannonade from their centre, while the masses of cavalry succeeded in getting into our rear. The action now became very interesting. The bravery of our men, - however, enabled them, though under circumstances of great difficulty, to beat off the assailants, Who left many men and horses on the ground. They with drew to a distance, and never hazarded a repeti tion of their attack. The casualties during the action were less than could have been expected. Only one European Officer, Lieutenant Falconer, of the 2d battalion Ist regiment, is among the wounded. The loss of the enemy is computed at between three and four hundred killed and wound ed. The Dispatch concludes with acknowledging the gallant exertions of our troops generally, and of some Officers in particular. The next is a dispatch from Mr. Elphinstone to the Governor-General, dated Camp Kirky, No vember 11, in which he states that Colonel Burr's movement on the sth had struck great terror into the enemy. The Peishwa had set off for Poorun der, and was with great difficulty persuaded to remain in camp by Goklah. In the course of the succeeding days the Maltratta army was concen trated on the side of Poona, but removed from our camp, The next is a report from Brigadier-General Smith to General Hislop, dated camp before Poona, Nov. 20.—(Fur which see Tux SUN of Saturday ) A dispatch from Mr. Elphinstone, dated Nov. 23, mentions that the I'eishwa, with his usual in sincerity,- when he'diseovered the disastrous turn which his atrairs had taken, imputed the whole blame to hit Mi nisters. Extract from a Report - from Brigadier-General Smith to Lieutenant-General Sir Miles Nightingall, K.C.B. Com mander in Chief at Bombay dated Camp, at Julgaum, 49th November, 1817. Mr. Elphinstone informs me he is endeavouring to send a cossid (a messenger) to Bancoote, and I avail myself of this opportunity to acquaint your Excellency with what has passed since the force lett Poona on the 42d inst. We had a most difficult task in ascending the little Bhore Ghaut with the heavy train, on the 43d, which was not ac coo►plished till late at night; luckily, the enemy 'did not at tempt to defend the Ghant, or it would have cost me many lives, awl two or three days. 1 was obliged to halt on the 24t _ _ We SAW nothing of the enemy till we came to Jecjoory on the 25th; here he shewed front four to five thousand horse on both flanks of bur column; we pursued and dispersed one body of about two thousand, with the second cavalry and the artillery galloppers, but with little effect, the cavalry being completely broken down and almost useless, from the inces sant forced marches they hart, made for many months past. The second body of the enemy being upon the rear, and the march being very long (twenty-four miles), they took off fruit) fifteen to twenty bullocks. The toad was part of the way winding through hills, and it wus impossible effectually to cocc- the whole of time baggage. In the course of the day's skirmishing, the enemy, by reports from their own camp, lost abont twenty men and several horses; we had no tine hurt. I raised the Necrali, by the bridge, the same evening. On the veth, I marched to the bottom of the Salpee Pass.. On the 27th, we halted to refresh before eptering the Pass, ns the enemy threatened great opposition. The'follnwing morning (yesterday) we ascended that Ghaut, and perfectly unmolested till we reached the top, where the enemy shewed about 600 horse, and threw a few rockets. The advance soon drove them back with loss They gathered strength as they'retired in our front, and towards the close of our march slimed from three •to four thousand men in front, and about as many more being upon our rear. We opened the gallopers upon them two or three times in the course of the march, and with great effect. The 2d batta lion of the 9th regiment, under Major Thatcher, had their rear gsard, and took an opportunity of masking a galloper, under a division of Auxiliaries,. which the enemy were pre paring to charge; it opened with grape and did great-execu tion ; and the enemy through the day could not have lost fewer than one hundred and twenty Men ; we had one havildarand one sepoy slightly speared. In the march this morniug he was consequently very shy; but at the close of it, he shewed abotit 5000 horse out of range. As the picquet advanced, they retired slowly; the nature of the ground enabled me, however, to push upon them rapidly unperceived, till we reached a rising.ground, when we•found them formed, and within range; all the gallopers and a light five and a half inch howitzer, immediately opened upon them with great effect ; and, as usual, they fled in confusion ; they lost many men and horses, hut I hare no reports yet of the amount from' their own camp. On the'whole, I think I can assure your Excellency that every thing is going on prosperously. It is to be lamented, certainly, that the enemy will not fight; or that I have not cavalry to drive him to a distance; but I think every day's experiment of his present system is alarming and dispersing his men, and that he will soon give it up. We have no d'fli cult►es whatever, but want of grain for the followers; but the distress has not yet been of a nature to oblige them to leave ; and. I hope, by protecting the country, and paying liberally for all ,I take, that we shall continue to -find- sup plies enough to prevent extreme want. The troops have to endure great fatigue; we seldom reach our ground before two or three o'clock in the evening, from the necessity of keeping jthe whole line to the most compact, order; but I am happy to assure your Excellency of general good health, and the highest spirits in all ranks. On Monday, the following eccentricity occurred' at Leith :—At a dinner-party in the New Ship Tavern there, when the company were beginning to feel the effects of the generous beverage, one of the Gentlemen offered a bet of some dozens of wine that he would hying his horse up stairs, and, introduce him to the company, which was accepted. The animal accordingly made his appearance, anct . was paraded round the table ; after which he de scended the stairs ia fine style, cheered by the. whole party. t• From the LONDON GAZETTE, APRIL l • MILITARY PROMOTIONS.
